The inevitable "Rollback" - Page 3

Why they have made a rollback in WoW ?

I'm curious ... is it because hacks and dupes were out of control for a small portion of time ?|||Quote:








Never in my years of WoW & D2 experienced a rollback that made me anything more than slightly annoyed.

I doubt that this will be a problem.




Well that was my opinion also.

Until when I had a DBW roll back. And the rollback itself was about one(!) minute worth.

Those who played WoW during the WotLK days surely understand.|||Rollbacks are what helped me discover, in D2, that when an unidentified item drops, the game has already determined what that item is. Before that, I thought a random sequence was still initiated upon identification.

Wow I didn't know these sort of things happened. What happens if you found some **** hot item worth a tonne, then went and sold it on RMAH and made a nice sale and then boom! It rolled back to the point where you no longer had the item to begin with? What of the item, the money, the trade? What happens to the receiver of said item?

Can this happen?




I expect that the best of the best items will last at least many hours, but typically days to weeks in an Auction House. Its possessor will want to carefully make sure he/she's getting the best deal.|||Quote:

I doubt it. For ex. in wow if you post an item on the ah it automatuically gets 'permed'. Same goes if you equip it and it becomes soulbound. It works similarily to save&exiting the game in d2. It is just scripted to different events. I'm pretty sure such thing can't really happen. and if it did then nothing would be lost as money isn't transfered from accounts until the trade is completed.
